So my daughter Jocelyn is a daddy's girl. She is an absolute angel and melts my heart instantly when she says, "Daaaaaaddy." In the middle of a sweet moment, I asked her: "Were we best friends in Heaven before we came here?" And with absolutely zero hesitation, she exclaimed, "Yesss!" I get teary-eyed just thinking about that sweetie!!! What did I do to merit the bestowal of such a tender, little mercy named Jocelyn?!
My daughter is a teenager now.
I am at the point in my life that people have warned about. "Just wait until they're teenagers." Well, I've waited, and I think I've got a pretty dang good teenager on my hands. :)
Yesterday at 11:13 a.m., Emma turned 13. (I'm freaky good with remembering numbers. I guess it makes sense that I deal with them in my career on a daily basis.) We got some Chinese food at the store, went to my parents' to prepare it and feast, and then watched the new Star Trek movie (minus the green lady scene!).
Just recently, Emma got her hair cut. It looks really cute!
After an outpouring of support (four people, including me, participated in my poll), I have chosen to go with your recommendation for this blog's title: Better than Lime Jell-O.
With such a title, this blog will need some quality control. After all, saying my blog will be better than lime Jell-O is setting the bar pretty high. I promise that my jokes will normally not reduce your IQ, and I also promise to post something at least once a week. (Don't you hate blogs that are updated once a year? Oh yeah...that was mine. :-7)
To garner the readership of you ladies, I might even write about my feelings and stuff. (Jessica and our children are really easy to write about. :-]) And for you men, I could probably stick something in there about the fly burner coil valve or something.
Until the next post, please enjoy some of my favorite music.
